Doing It the EASY WAY!

OK! Feeling pretty darn dumb today! I spent HOURS yesterday making that card look somewhat real, and layered. Today, in about 15 minutes I figured out how to do it the RIGHT WAY! OH MY GOODNESS!!!

The thing I'm learning, slowly but surely, is that if there is something you want to do, there is probably a button that does it. I seem to be working on one or two buttons a day so I'm learning the VERY HARD WAY!

The main thing I learned today is how to add a "glow around the outside edge of any element...making it "3-D" I did that manually yesterday, and I didn't do a very good job of it!

Another thing you may not be able to tell immediately is that you can turn object around so it looks like you are seeing it from a different angle... the bottom flower on each side was the result of duplicating the main flower and twisting it...and making it smaller.

DigiKit - Brads - By Vinnie Pearce (you get 200 brads for $2.00) beats the heck out of making them myself !!! Actually, you can make even more than that by changing the hue... these were actually bright pink, I changed them to coral.

OH! and one more thing I did to help it look 3D... The picture looks like I printed it and actually made a card from it... NOT!!! I found a picture of a card and layered my faux card over the front and changed the perspective. HA! Gotta love that!

OK, I'm REALLY sick of this coral and brown now! Time for something different!

AWESOME DEALS!

The Ten Commandments

1. You shall have no other gods before me.

2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

6. You shall not murder.

7. You shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not steal.

9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
